Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify that the pads are not coated with abrasive materials, as abrasive-coated textiles fall under heading 68.05
• If the pads are impregnated with polishing compounds, confirm whether the textile is merely a carrying medium, which would exclude them from Chapter 56
• Keep retail packaging and weight specifications for CBSA verification
